Meal Planning and Prep

Meal Planning and Prep

A balanced diet is one of the best allies to any type of medical treatment. It’s also a part of feeling well overall. When you’ve had too much to eat, or you’re potentially eating something that you don’t necessarily love, it’s just not an ideal situation. We want to be able to prep meals that are not only nutritious but also taste good. The other thing that’s important for us is to ensure that we’re cleaning up after we’re done. That way, the kitchen won’t be a mess all day long.

What Type of Meals Can You Prepare?
We can potentially prepare all sorts of meals. If the person that we’re helping has a very particular taste, we’re open to trying to understand what they like or don’t like. As we mentioned, the goal is for mealtime to be a pleasant situation. We don’t want people to feel like they’re going to be eating hospital food on a daily basis. That’s actually one of the benefits that we aim to provide over a nursing home or other facilities. Since we’re preparing smaller portions, we can be more flexible with the food that we prepare.  

Do They Have to be Prepared On-Site?
This is one of the common questions that we get about this particular service. It doesn’t have to be the case, especially if we’re bringing food for one person specifically. Even though we do provide kitchen cleaning services, we understand that some people are very protective of that space in their homes. They may not necessarily be on board with our team using the space. This is something that we can talk through on a per-case basis to see what can make sense in each situation that’s going to allow us to solve that issue.    

Being in Sync With a Nutritionist & Doctors   
A major reason why we offer these services is to ensure that the people we’re caring for are following doctor’s orders. At times, it can be difficult to truly see the results of a particular treatment unless the person is well-fed. In certain situations, it’s even required that they take certain supplements. What we want to do is make following doctor’s orders seamless for the people that we’re working with. As mentioned before, we want to be able to do this ideally while serving decent food. Sometimes, it’s a tough balancing act, but that’s what we’re tasked with.

Buying The Ingredients for Meals
Our staff can run those errands if need be. As we mentioned when we talked about the preparation of these meals, if you have questions or specific requests regarding this specific process, we strongly advise that you give us a call or contact us. This is going to allow us to let you know the different options that we’re going to have available. Even if we are the ones running the errands of getting the groceries per se, if you have a preference on where you’d like us to buy something, that’s an element that can be worked out as well.
